I saw this a few months back, was more intrigued than interested like you. i think it appears to be the generic ebay special cooler and cheap piping, that never fits snugly.

I have a 3 inch de-cat downpipe from TurboRevs on my Cupra and the build quality and fit were second to none.

But this could be a different story as it doesn't look to have brackets etc to fit the car. But then again maybe it would fit fine lol.

Anyone want to be the guinea pig for the rest of us ????

i have seen their de-cat pipes, circa 140-150 on ebay right?

The Eurojet you would have to modify just so you know...it has V-Banded ends, so you either need another to match or to chop the bands of and have them wielded up...(All new eurojet exhaust are now V-Band type, using clamps to secure).

I have this intercooler fitted to my car. Been on for 3k miles on a stock k03s turbo and 2k on a gt3071 running 1 bar of boost with no issues at all. Only downside is there is no map sensor flange and no vac pipe so you need to get these welded on after. Unless they updated it after I complained. But mine came with alloy brackets to fit to the crash bar and was reasonably easy to fit.

Supposed to be a rubbish fit, a kid on mk5gti had one and in the end sent it back!

 

[aaron-gardner]

It was ok to fit mine but I bet the toyosport is even easier.

 

[Guncha]

Is there reason to buy exhausts or intercoolers from Turborevs?

 

[aaron-gardner]

I only got the turborevs myself because I got it for only £140 off eBay with all pipework and mounting brackets. There is nothing wrong with the build quality of the core and all the pipes are as good as any others I have seen. Beaded ends and smooth bends. What more do you want??? I'm not suggesting in any way for anyone to buy one but I will say it's possible to fit the Leon. It took me a total of 4 hours by myself to remove and fit the turborevs cooler on my car. Except having to get a map sensor flange welded onto the pipe. I will take some pics of mine soon and show you the Fitment layout on my big turbo setup. It's very similar layout to the ko3 or ko4 placement.

aaron do you have a mk1 or mk2 leon?

 

[aaron-gardner]

Whoops. I didn't look at what car it was for just the title. I have a mk1. Sorry

 

[Smee]

which means this would be better for Mk2 as we wouldnt need the extra bits you were missing.
